What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Air Zone
“The Air Zone has a BIT more highs than the Breed which has a BIT more mids and comes off as very very slightly warmer..”
“I was looking at the PAF pro and the Air Zone, but it seems that they may bet boomy on the low end awfully quick....”
On the DiMarzio Gravity Storm
“If you are looking for high mid crunch forget the Gravity Storm, I have that set in one of my guitars and it is a lot of lows and low mids with a rolled back high end.”
“However, to say the gravity storm will have scooped mids because it has an A5 is a stretch, as the Tone Zone example proves.”
